description
Syntastic is a syntax checking plugin that runs files through external syntax checkers and displays any resulting errors to the user. This can be done on demand, or automatically as files are saved. If syntax errors are detected, the user is notified and is happy because they didn't have to compile their code or execute their script to find them.

For the latest version version https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic
 
install details
pathogen.vim is the recommended way to install syntastic.

If using pathogen:
cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone https://github.com/scrooloose/syntastic.git

Otherwise:
Extract the zip file into your ~/.vim or $HOME\vimfiles (windows), open up vim, run helptags and then checkout :help syntastic.
